Study of relationship between road surface slopes and severity of potholing on gravel roads; it is suggested that effect of grade on potholing tendency is considerably more than token effect; resultant of transverse slope and longitudinal grade appears to be more strongly related to presence and severity of potholing than is crown slope alone; because tendency to tilt road crown downhill in sidehill locations can result in flatter crown, and often more severe potholing on uphill side of road, caution in "by eye" shaping of soil-aggregate roads in such locations is suggested.
